Leave
granted.
2.
The
appellant is an association of members working in various courts in the State
of Haryana. The members include the subordinate staff of the various district
courts and the Court of Civil Judge,Senior Division and Junior Division. The
association has filed an application for recognition of their association by
the High Court. The appellant association has filed a writ petition before the
High Court and the High Court, by the impugned judgment, rejected the same on
the ground that there was no provision of law to give recognition to such an
organisation.
3.
Heard
learned counsel for the appellant. The respondent is not present when the
matter was called.
4.
Learned
counsel for the appellant pointed out that there is no law which prohibits the
forming of an association or giving recognition to 2 such an association. It
was argued that this recognition is only for the purpose of giving their
representation.
We do not find
anything wrong in the High Court giving such recognition to this association
and the High Court, if necessary, may also frame some regulations in this
regard. The association is entitled to act as a representative body for the
members of the staff. The High Court may give recognition to the association
only for the purpose of giving any representation.
5.
The
appeal is disposed of accordingly. No costs.
